使用Visual Studio 2010访问2010数据库

Question

I have an Access 2010 database that I am trying to access in a Windows Form Visual Studio application.

Here is my code:

         strDB = " Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source="



        strDB = strDB & pstrPathName


        ' the connection object
        mdbDatabase = New OleDbConnection(strDB)

        ' open the connection
        mdbDatabase.Open()

It fails to work. The Message I get is “Microsoft.ACE,OLEDB.12.0” provider is not registered on the local machine.

I was advised in another Forum to try to install AccessDatabaseEngine.exe. That program installed ok but it didn't help. Any thoughts?
